Find your local station for Cavino and rich@foxsportsradio.com or stream us live every day on the iHeartRadio app by search FSR my thought is I rather see history than see my team lose 10. 1 like at least you're seeing something. Like, yeah, no one wants to see their team get beat. But if you're going to get beat, witness something cool, right? Like if your team's going to lose, do you want the other team to win on errors or do you want to see a slugger hit a 500 foot home run? Why would you ever root for the other team regardless of history accolades? Who cares about the other team? I think it's like ingrained instincts from when you played sports. If you're getting no hit or you're losing, you want your team to come back. Always. I don't care about the other team. You're not supposed to care at all about the other team. I know, but what I'm saying is, but I do like your spin today. I'm a, I'm a fan of history. So usually, usually I'd say, you know, do I rather be on hand at Dodger Stadium to see a one hitter or a no hitter? The answer is no hitter, right? If you're watching your team imply, I think you're the minority here. No one wants to see the team get hit regardless of history. It's history for the other team. It's not history for you. But in this case, I think when your team is struggling, the Mets have lost eight of nine. They're the most streaky team in baseball. Like the Mets, if you've noticed, they'll rip off seven of eight and then they'll lose seven of eight. Then they'll rip off seven of eight. It's, it's how this team looks and you just got to hope if you're a fan of a team like the Mets that they make it to the postseason and then they get hot in that moment. But my thought was put the Mets aside. Who cares about my team when your team is struggling? Sometimes I feel like hitting rock bottom is necessary to make a move, make an adjustment, have that players only meeting. That may be meaningless, but at least you're trying. Like to me soto Hitting the home run. Ruined. Ruined. Hitting rock bottom, Eminem style. It's a good song. Rock bottom, because you can only move up from there. So I do understand what you're getting at because in life, that also is the case sometimes. I know it's one inning, it's one game, but in football, we always talk about that team that gets stuck at 9 and 8 and 8 and 9, and they just. They're not bad enough. But they're not good enough. I'm saying right now, sometimes getting your ass whooped is not a bad thing. What's up, DB I got a question for you guys. Just in this scenario, so Soto hits the home run on a 10 count. There probably weren't enough pitches to sense the crowd, like, where they're at. So if the crowd is on their feet and you're Juan Soto, do you think they're cheering for the no hitter, or do you think they're cheering for him and vice versa? Like, if you're Gavin Williams, are you thinking that the fans know that it's history, or do you think that they're against you? Like, because I would probably. Maybe because I'm a glass half empty sort of guy. In both situations, I would think it's the opposite. So if I'm Williams, I'm thinking the Mets fans want him to home. Or if I'm Soto, I'm thinking, why are they cheering for Gavin Williams to get the. No, no, I don't think they are. It's in Citi Field, right? It's a home game for the Mets. The people that are standing are all rooting for soho to break up the no hitter. Every one of them. Except for Rich. That's why I find it fun. I do. But I do like the spin of sometimes in life and in sports, if you're dead last and rock bottom, you can't go any further down. That is when you're forced to make the change and move your way up. It's. I do understand that. I'm not saying that away from them today. I'm not saying fireman Dozo or bench Soto. I'm just saying sometimes rock bottom feels a lot better than. And we're just still sucking. Like in a relationship, if you keep having mild fights, I feel like that relationship, you'll stay with the wrong person. But if she's like, I hate you, and she packs a bag and go. Stays with her parents for a week. Yeah, but you shouldn't have to hit the bottom to make that change. Let's say you have A drinking problem or a weight issue. It doesn't have to be, you know, anything that serious. But you have an issue, you have to wait till like if you have a rash on your ass, you have to wait till you're bleeding before you take care of it. Have you like, have you talked to hit rock bottom? You do to make that change. I think that's a mistake. I'm not saying it's not, but look around you. If you think most people don't wait until the rash bleeds. If you don't think most people wait until, I don't know, the. They have a heart attack or something serious, you don't have to. To your homeless, to your bankrupt. The thing is, that is what people do. I know it's not mean you have to do that. I know it's not a laughing matter. But all the things you just spoke of. Everything from homelessness to drug problems to weight problems, to everything. Most people do wait until some stuff goes real wrong and they're like, oh, gotta change it. It's not that they wait, Rich. It's that there's nowhere else to go. As Richard Gere said, I've got nowhere else to go. It's true. It's. That's really. It's just a matter of default. It's your only option or, you know, you jump off a bridge. Unfortunately, it's like, where else do you go? Our video guy, Spot. Let me pull you in the mix, Spot. Spot's the type of guy that flexes at the gym. Spots. The type of guy that like, shows off his legs. Like, look at these. I got nice. He calls himself. Yeah, he calls himself the man with bulletproof legs. That's true, but. And he parades and kicks them through the hallway. Spot, before you were this stallion of a man you are today. Such a stallion. What jump started all this? Having a heart issue, Having to have surgery because I ignored my health for the whole. Wasn't it losing breath in Vegas? It was a hike, right? Yeah, on a hike. No, I was on a hike and I could barely. It was like it wasn't even that. That intense of a hike and I could barely breathe. Yeah, he lost his breath at Spearmint Rhino Camino Vegas. Oh, is that what they were calling you? Duncan Chic? Yeah, they took my breath away. I was barely breathing, so. But no, I mean. And now look at him. Spot needed to have quintuple bypass. Do you hear me? Quintuple bypass surgery to. From a guy that didn't care about his health to the guy that cares the most in the room about his health. Okay, so ask him, do you think he, looking back, wish he would have made a change sooner? Or do you think, oh, going rock bottom is the only way he could have got here? I think going to the doctor and them saying, christian, spot, you're going to need surgery was the eye opener. I think rock. Yeah, I think rock bottom really hammered home the point. If I didn't have that, that level of motivation, I wouldn't have stuck with it again. Kavino, relationships, I guess that's serious stuff. Drug issues, drinking issues. A lot of times police need to be involved. A lot of times there need to be. There needs to be, unfortunately, intervention. An escalation to the point where it's like, I'm not dealing with her anymore or a woman who's with a really bad guy. Sometimes it has to get to a level where it's like, now you have to leave him. He's so bad. Look what he did or something. So he's a threat to your life. Yeah, essentially, something's threatening your life. Essentially. And keep this in mind, I did say I liked Rich's spin on it today because what Soto did by breaking up the no hitter took away that feeling and sense of urgency that they're hitting rock bottom and they need to really step it up. Dude. If the Mets are trying to fight for the division and assert themselves in the National League, if they've lost eight of nine and the last one was no hit at home, that to me is a kick in the nuts. Okay, well, let me know. Home run. Sort of softened that blow to the point where it's like, now it's like, oh, they lost again, Bob. But they, you know, Soto hit a home run. I still subscribe to. You never root for your team to get no hit. But I like the spin on it because it forces them to move forward. But based on that theory, let's say it's your child that's struggling. Do you root for them to hit rock bottom in order to make that change? You know what I mean? Like, not rock bottom. If it affects their, like their life, their safety. But I'm saying if, I mean, let's say your daughter was dating a guy that's a bad guy and you're like, yeah, he's. I don't want this guy in her life. He stinks. You would almost be like, if she caught him cheating red handed or like she got away unscathed, you would root for that. You're rooting for the reality Check. That's really. Yeah, that's what we're getting at. Okay, so your thoughts, do you ever based on Rich's thought here about hitting rock bottom, that might be a different way of looking at it, but do you ever root for your team to get no hit? Let me ask you this, is this the best solution for your team to make that change? I'm watching your Yankees right now. They have a three two lead in the eighth. Yeah, Goldschmidt hit a home run and they're five. They've lost five in a row and it's an absolute nightmare if you're struggling. If the Rangers find the over the next, they have five outs left, one out in the eighth, five more chances. If the Rangers somehow walk this off, is Aaron Boone gone? I don't know if he's gone, but I think you do something with Devin Williams, you got to bench a few people, you got to do something to shake it up because there's definitely panic and, and something going on behind closed doors with this team. It's. I've never seen anything like it, to be honest. All right, well, your thoughts at Covino and Rich. 87799 on Fox. Let me turn the phones on. Get the phones going. Most interactive show. I wasn't watching the Mets game but shouldn't have Williams pitched around Soto in that situation? That's a ninth inning, one out. He's been dealing. He's been dealing. But if anyone's going to break up the known though, Pete's up next. And then the Alonzo is hotter than Soto. I mean Soto's been cold lately so I mean you got to pitch to someone. I don't know, you don't have confidence, confidence in your stuff. You're nine innings deep but you're at 110 pitches. I mean come on. Gavin Williams again, props to him. Went nine innings with one out. Juan Soto breaks up to the no hitter with a bomb. I do have still lose the most. I do have a question for you. If you're a pitcher, I guess the answer might be simple. But if you're a mid level Gavin Williams, like, you know, you're in the big league so clearly you're one of the best but not a household name. I mean he's 7 and 4. He's having a solid season. Yeah, but what I'm saying is if Juan Soto is the guy that broke up your no hitter. Do you hate Juan Soto forever? I mean, you don't love him anymore. No, but I'm saying like if you're a guy that made it to the big leagues and you're a good pitcher, but not, not an all Star, not a Hall of Famer, a guy that you know. But Juan Soto is the guy that took away your one moment of glory. We're talking about the ultimate competitors to take things this far. So here's what I know for a fact. They never forget it. Oh, yeah, that, that's a mental note that stays with them for the rest of their life. So in any Kia Batten Sotos up, this guy's going to be like, I hope he strikes out. Yeah, Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. Without a doubt. 877-99-ON FOX and of course, always available at Covino and Rich sports radio on social media. So let's be interactive. Let's. Let's start on Long Island. Brian, you're on with Covino and Rich. Just, just the idea. We're good, man. Just the idea of hitting rock bottom at a job or relationship sports where I think sometimes you do have to be in a terrible, low desperation mode to actually make a change. And I think Soto took that away from the Mets by hitting a home run. I almost feel like the Mets should have been no hit today. We often talk about the Cowboys and Steelers and teams like that who are always like, good enough where you really don't have to do anything drastic. Right. So that's what we're getting at. Right. So comment on the Mets here. Yeah, I think Soto definitely stole the time for change from the Mets, who in my opinion, they needed to. They need a new hitting coach at the very least. They've been in a huge slump here lately. And Yankees also need a change. Yeah. By the way, too much talent on that Mets roster to just be having one of the lowest batting averages. Like, it's too much. Too many good bats. So I don't want the obvious to be lost in this conversation either, though. It's a cool conversation and I love your spin, Rich. But it's like, how about, hey, I'm happy Juan Soto broke up to no hitter. He hit his 26th home run. Like, how is that not part of the thought process here? Hey, man, at least he broke it up and they didn't get no hit. Juan Soto hit his 26th. Man. It's like a. It's like a band aid. Yeah. Rich is saying, hey, he's looking at it from a different perspective. Who else do we got? Let's go to Bruno. What's up, Bruno? What's up? What's up, Bruno? What's up, brothers? I love it. Hey, listen, you know, I would never want to see my team get no hit. But think about this. And it happens all the time. When your football team is tripping along, they're not making any wins, and all you're doing is you're jonesing for that, for that draft pick, and they pick up those extra 2, 3 wins at the end of the year, and they end up losing that draft pick. The Giants had number one. I'm not a Giants fan, unfortunately, I'm a Jets fan. But they had number one last year and they won that stupid game and it dropped them back. I know. Yeah. You root for your team to lose. For sure. There are times where losing is actually winning. And I. And I think that in this case, I'm a. I'm a firm believer that the Mets are struggling. And it's being. If you're an east coast guy, we're on the West Coast. But both baseball fans of New York teams, the Yankees thinking has disguised how the Mets are stinking, too. I really think that the Yankees are just stinking in a different way. Rich. How do you know, though, if you are no hit that that would be rock bottom. That could send some teams into more of a spiral, Danny. That's a good point. You're right. It's like, you know, you're right. If someone gets caught doing some dumb stuff, they could either improve themselves or that's like, you're right. That starts even the worst spiral. Yeah. And I even think that the no hitter, it may seem like it's rock bottom, but it also could be a fluke thing, like where good teams get no hit. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. Like, so that's just, you know, just happens. And maybe you don't necessarily realize it, that, I mean, you know, that you're going through it. But the no hitter, maybe it would magnify it, but maybe you would just think, oh, that's just an off ch sort of thing happening. I get what Danny's saying, too. And great point, DB Dan Beyer and Danny G. It's like, all right, let's say. Let's say you have a boozing issue, right, Rich? You're boozing. Yeah. And you get into a fender bender. You're thinking, well, he survived, he's okay, thank God. Maybe this is a wake up call and he straightens up after this. Are you telling the story of Gordon Bombay, my favorite hockey coach, but like, Danny G. Insinuated, it could also just add to the downward spiral. Like, look what he did. Well, you don't know that it's automatically the opportunity to turn things around. It's always on that person or that team. You're making good points as well. So we'll leave it to you at Covey known Rich 87799 on Fox. Do you feel like your team, you know, family members, co workers, do you feel like sometimes rock bottom is needed to make a real change? And I think that I'll say one last time and we'll move on. Juan Soto, you would think I'd say, oh, he broke up to no hitter with a solo home run. I was sort of aggravated. I wanted the Mets to get no hit to prove a point like, yo, you better step it up, you bums. Come on like you got no hit. You've lost eight of nine. The no hit again, I feel like is a kick in the nuts. What where the solo home run. Now the box scores four one you lost. You know, I don't know. I think you've done a great job explaining it. Like I feel what you're saying, I don't necessarily agree with what you're saying, but I do. Like, I love the spin on it and I'm just shocked. I was shocked, guys, that Rich was mad that the Mets broke up the no hitter. So your thoughts? What's up, Sam? Your feedback is welcome. What's up, Sam? You know you've hit rock bottom in college football when your team has been shut out three times in a season and you hadn't been shut out in 23 years and that happened to the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2023. They were shut out three times to the three best opponents shut out zero points. And so that's humiliating for the fans, that's humiliating for their players. And when it happens three times in a season, it hadn't happened since the year 2000, that's a wake up call 0.0. That's a decent point, Sam, too, because like we already established, how do you know if that's rock bottom? Maybe it could get worse. You don't even know it yet. The Bicoastal Covino and Rich show later today giving away prizes. If you could repeat verbatim Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. You know Mike that runs this place? Yeah, he's the man. Yeah, Mike who runs this place. I miss Mike. I haven't seen him. But words of wisdom. We talk about him all the time. And we also got midweek major the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. We're going to break it down. Are they midweek or major but rich. Before we talk style and Schottenheimer and Colin Cowherd and everything else. Yeah. Do you believe in miracles? Dude, I know it's one of your favorite songs. You sex a thing. Do I believe in miracles like you believe in mirror? Like, like, like a guy could lift up a car, you know, his adrenaline swollen or like, like, like real miracles. It was always the granny story that picked up a car to save someone's life. Yeah, like, I mean, miracles. Yeah, why not? Of course I do. Sure. Well, I like to. I'd like to think so. Right. That makes you. It's nice to believe things like that. There was a two part doozy in the news today and it involves one of your heroes. So I just want to throw it out there in case the Fox Sports Radio Nation hasn't seen it. Your boy, the Hulkster, our childhood hero Hulk Hogan was laid to rest and his daughter was a no show at the funeral. So the story was she didn't show up because he said he never wanted one. Yeah, I mean, she would know it's his daughter. So I mean, if anyone would know. Right. But you know who did show up? The Hulkster cloud that was running wild in the sky and running wild on you. I know you're thinking the Hulk Hogan Hulkster cloud. You gotta see. Well, post it on our Instagram at. In the air above the funeral, it's the Hulkster flexing above the funeral. Dude, it's the wildest thing. It's, it's. Come on, bro, it's too much of a coincidence. Well, what you gonna do? What you gonna do when the Hulkster cloud runs wild on the sky? And you, brother, what you gonna do? I can't wait for Danny G. Your Meyer has to add this to his update, by the way. I. I mean, I think this is big. I don't know if he should add it to the update, but please take a look at the Hulkster cloud. Our guy Spot will be posting that momentarily if he wants to. I like, it's a miracle, man. It's pretty cool. It is pretty cool. I mean, usually when people are like, look at the cloud. Don't you see? Blank. I'm like, it's a cloud. But honestly, does look like the Hulkster flexing in the sky. It's wild. What are the chances? Ball four, Rangers got a runner on base in the bottom of the ninth on a full count. Come on. Implode Yankees. If they implode, Rich, then I just got to take a page out of this Dickie Davis book of fandom. Why don't you guys just call it a draw, all right? They can only. Yeah, they both stink. How about you both get a refund? You both get a refund. There's no bet anymore. It's off. It's off. I'm calling it off. There's no money. You don't need a refund. It's crazy. I just saw the cloud right now. That's. That's like God goofing with us. The Hulkster cloud, brother. Did you see the side by side? Like they've shown you the Hulkster flexing and the cloud and it's like, it's. What do you believe in more? The Hulkster cloud or the alien that was caught on the ring doorbell in Compton? Both. Or the. The Big Mac that looks like Steve Harvey? Have you seen that one? Oh, my God. You squint your eyes. You squint your eyes and you're like. Isn't that AI. Oh, it's completely. Completely. Wait a minute. I squinted my eyes. It's a Steve Harvey burger. I can't find any P in my photo album on my phone. Except that one always stands out. Like, I've saved that Steve Harvey hamburger Look alike. That's great. That's hilarious. All right, you know what? I want to get into this because Colin Cowherd, we. We love Colin. He's always been cool with us. In fact, Colin believes very much in what we do different from him. But Colin's a pal. He's a radio tycoon. He's a legend in the game for sure. Stars. Stars. Colin Cowherd has always had just a hilarious problem with grown men wearing their hat backwards. Especially quarterbacks, coaches, people that are supposed to be in some type of alpha, authoritative position. This has always been a cowherd. Grown ups, adults, men that lead. Oh, man. Dude hit for the Texas Rangers. It's first and second, bottom of the ninth. Let's go. One out, two outs, two outs, two outs. Okay, and Garcia's up. I mean, I can't watch. It makes me sick to my stomach. Dude, I'm serious. I can't watch anymore. Let's go to DB for a quick update. Yeah, let me just quick wrap this up, then you guys can get into the Cowherd Schottenheimer stuff. It is three two, Yankees, ninth inning. Aaron Boone on his way to the mound. Dodgers lead the Cardinals 31 in the fifth. Right now, Shohei Ohtani struck out eight and four innings, also at his 39th home run of the season for LA. That's some MVP stuff right there. Yeah, absolutely. Geez. Ohtani is legend. All right, here we go. Oh, okay, one, one. I know I can't do play by play, but keeping an eye on this Rangers, Yankees game. Let's talk about this cowherd thing. We all know. It's also very cool that we are even talking football. As we established, it's a preseason weekend. It starts tomorrow. My birthday weekend starts tomorrow. So I'm excited, man. We got baseball, we got football, we got my birthday. And you already said it. Colin, the best in the game, but has one of his pet peeves and he's made it very clear. He hates when quarterbacks, coaches, anyone wears a backwards hat because it makes you look like a. A, like a man. Boy, you gain no respect that way. However, Ken Griffey Jr. Had no problem with it. Fred Durst had no problem with it. Now Colin had a problem not only with a hat, Schottenheimer with the backwards visor. Take a listen. You know I don't like backward hats. What's worse is a backward visor. That's a two win team. I'm taking away four wins. So when you sit in front of a podium, you're representing the Cowboys, you're representing a $12 billion corporation. I think you got to do better as a head coach than a visor Backwards. Brian Schottenheimer visor backwards, which by the way, is a weak ass look. But man, Colin had a problem with it. And he's got to love the fact that today at Dallas Cowboys camp, this is how Brian Schottenheimer started his little meeting with the media. Oh, sorry, Colin. Let me turn my hat around. You know, visor alone, backwards, forwards, whatever is a stupid look. No, it should come with fake hair and only fake. Who wears a visor? Seriously, I don't think I've ever had a lot of SEC coaches. Yeah, SEC coaches, but that's it. Like, like Pfizer companies are in business just for that. It's very. I say it's very Dennis Allen. Okay? Do you have any friends that rock a visor? Kirby Smart loves a visor. Yeah, but these are all. We don't know. If your buddy rolled up in a visor, he'd smack that thing off his head. Your Yankees won. Strikeout. There you go. Thank goodness, man. There you go. You got to win. Rock's bottom involved. But yeah, visors are a very interesting. You're right about that. Very interesting in that. Who wears a visor? And it's a very Particular type of person to begin with. Right. Usually a college coach or some. Or some female tennis players or something. Sean Payton, some golfers do. Sean Payton, golfers Or Malibu. Malibu's most wanted. I feel like 55 year old guys in Florida, maybe like middle aged guys in Florida might wear a visor. It's a weird choice. Matt Nagy would wear a visor and which I didn't understand because he was bald. So like if you're out in the sun, you'd just be getting torched. The visor helps keep the sun out of your eyes and maybe you want your hair to get a little light. Didn't V. Stiviano wear a visor as well during the Donald Sterling? It was that enormous. That enormous. Oh, dealers at a casino. Well, sometimes I think she wore a welder's mask. DB A visor. It was that big. So forget about the visor. Clearly the visor and the hat. Cow herd's got a problem. So we ask you, let's open it up. Let's have some fun on a random Cavino and Rich Wednesday. What are those style pet peeves of yours? Like, what is the. What is your backwards hat? What is your visor? What annoys the hell out of you? Well, if you're new to the Covino and Rich experience, the world famous C and R. For years we fought the battle of Crocs. We lost the war, but we fought battle after battle after battle. And at this point you just surrender. I don't wear them. I've always hated them. But it looks like the kids are rolling with it. Their pajama pants, their tank tops, their broccoli heads. I get it. It's easy. Kids put them on and off. Sport mode. It's a. It's not my thing, but I've moved on from that because I lost the war. And my biggest pet peeve lately, I feel bad saying it because there's a lot of culprits here at Fox Sports Radio and some of them I love. But when these younger dudes wear like clogs, like man clogs, like these Birkenstock man clogs, I'm like, what are you with little Dutch boy with your socks? Who are you talking about? Steve? What are you, Shay. Who's. There we go. You wear clogs as a man, does that look like a man to you? Absolutely. No different generation in luck, dude. That look is for the birds. That's what I say. Like, I think Shade's one of the coolest guys and I see clogs And I'm like, I have to second guess this. Weren't we wearing Birkenstocks in the 90s, though? Wasn't that. Yeah, but I was. Jelly sandals. Like the dude. Like the dude. I just. Does that garner respect? Like if you're boss. That's the thing, right? It's like there's a few things you'll never see a man of authority do. You'll never see him running because he's. Because he's the guy in charge. You never see him running down the hallway because he's the guy. You're never going to see your boss, like, wearing a little schoolboy backpack because he's the boss. And you're never going to see him wear clogs to the office because he's in charge and commanding respect. Moment. To give you one of my pet peeves. I'll give you, you know, Big Mike, who runs this place? He's getting his words of wisdom ready. You know what his was? Hurricane stands when someone wears blue jeans and flip flops. And I agree with him. That's. That's a terrible look. Flip flops. That's a funny one, yo. Flip flops with shorts or swim trunks? Yes, but with jeans. No. You gotta wear closed toe shoes with jeans. It's a weak ass look. What about like Tevas with socks? You know what Tivas look like? Don't do that. Socks underneath. My Spanish teacher used to wear it like that weakest. No bueno. For real. Our teenagers wear dirty white shoes. And it bugs me because their thinking is. And I have no idea why they think this is cool, but the more worn out they look, the better they look. Yo, Danny G. It's a thing. Especially with Air Force ones. Like, they'll rock. Like beat up white Air Force ones that look like they've been through concerts and mud. And they'll wear them down. They're all creased and bubbly. I don't know why that's a thing. But there's. There's the overpriced shoe store that you might see at the mall. Golden Goose, I believe. And they sell like $800 sneakers that look like they've been through a music festival. I hate that. Like you. Like you played baseball in a dusty park all day. It's like they stole them from a hobo. I don't understand how that's a thing. And again, based on Collins. Collins problem, let's say. I was going to say something else. Collins problem with Brian Schottenheimer and the backwards hat and the Backwards visor. What is your style? Paint. Pet peeve. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention, passengers. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50 of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying, like, okay, pull this, pull that, turn this. It's just. I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise. They need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Get fired up, y'. All. Season 2 of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway. We just welcomed one of my favorite people and an incomparable soccer icon, Megan Rapinoe to the show, and we had a blast. We talked about her recent 40th birthday celebrations, Co hosting a podcast with her fiance, sue, bird watching former teammates retire, and more. Never a dull moment with Pino. Take a listen. What do you miss the most about being a pro athlete? The final. The final. And the locker room. I really, really like you. Just, you can't replicate. You can't get back. Showing up to the locker room every morning just to talk. We've got more incredible guests like the legendary Candace Parker and college superstar AZ Foote. I mean, seriously, y', all, the guest list is absolutely stacked for season two. And you know, we're always going to keep you up to speed on all the news and happenings around the women's sports world as well. So make sure you listen to Good Game with Sarah Spain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports, the OGs of uncensored motherhood are back and badder than ever. I'm Erica. And I'm Mila. And we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast, brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network every Wednesday. Historically, men talk too much, and women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your tribe, with guests like Corinne Stephens I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happened, and then everybody else want to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem. My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade and I called to ask how I was doing. She was like, I oh, dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school. And Slumflower. What turns me on is when a man sends me money. Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money, I'm like, oh, my God, it's go time. You actually sent it. Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast. When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and Cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. Us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news. They're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilio Perez, the trans community's gonna push back on that colorism. All of these things, like, exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman Aoc. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the Mike Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know, right, genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month, and black tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas, spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that at rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to black tech green money from the Black Effect podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Mental note. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in for Dan Patrick. Right now we're live from the Fox Sports radio studio. And it's time for our tire rack play of the day. After missing five weeks. Five weeks. That left knee injury. Max Muncie is back. Muncie swings. It's a drive right center field. This ball back. And it's gone. He's done it again. Two home runs in the night for Muncie and the Dodgers lead it 4 to 2. Man, the Dodgers pound the cards. Took him to pound town 12 to 6. That's courtesy of AM570 Dodgers Audio Network. And that was the tyrack play of the day. Okay, so next hour, Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom giving away prizes midweek major going over all the headlines with Spotty. And now we're going to your phone calls at 87799 on Fox. It's very clear that Colin Cowherd hates people with backward hats and visors Schottenheimer style. But what's your style? Pet peeve? I mentioned mine. The whole, like young people with their clogs. Like young men with clogs. And I get it. It's a generational thing. I understand that. There's young dudes out there slaying it in their clogs. I love how you call them clogs like they're Dutch wooden clogs. From a generational standpoint. Little Dutch boys. I can't imagine wearing those things. Yeah, I just can't. I, I got a. I got a few stylistic things that bother the hell out of me. But you know what? Let's go to your feedback first. And by the way, we thought of this because Colin, we know, hates the backwards visor, is so funny that Brian Schottenheimer starts today's press conference addressing Colin. Oh, sorry, Colin. Let me turn my around. Gets the nervous chuckle from the press columns. Gotta love that, right? Let's go to your phone calls, Mitch. And actually, let's start with Thomas at Washington State. What's up, Thomas? Hey, how's it going, guys? Love your show. You guys make me laugh all day. I love it. Oh, thanks, man. Yeah. So my, my two. So I'm 54 years old. So what I pet peeves me is when you a guy in his 50s wearing those jean shorts that are halfway right below his knee, but they're not pants and they're not shorts, that just bugs me. Unless. Unless. Listen, unless there's John Cena. Yeah, John Cena. Unless you're John Cena, you should not be wearing jean shorts as a middle aged man. They look ridiculous on him. Shorts? Yeah, John Cena shorts. Let's go to John in Minnesota. What's up, John? Okay. Rich and Cavino. Yep. Can someone explain to me what clogs are? No, I think you're right when you say clogs, I'm thinking wooden shoes. Camino's talking more like these, like the Birkenstocks. They're like Birkenstocks but in the shape of a croc. And yeah, they're clogs, they're just not made of wood. I think everyone thinks wooden clogs. I think they're made of a splinters in my feet. Yeah, no splinters. West Virginia. Jerry, you're on. Hey, thanks guys for taking the call. No problem. The most landlocked state you can imagine in West Virginia. And this, these people in this state go to Myrtle beach for one day of the year. They go to Ocean City for five days and all they. Oh no. He was so mad too. Oh man, he left us with a cliffhanger. When you see someone with a completely out of style big pleated pants, baggy 1990, like they're at the 1990 something NBA draft, like, dude, come on, get a new suit. You're not Carmelo Anthony. You're more the exception to that rule. I would say there's more people with non fitting suits than the ones who will go to the nines to make sure that their suit fits. Maybe you're right. And Dan Byer, you're a guy that every day you come in here handsome and clean cut, right? You got the nice clean shave. Know what bothers me when you go to an event? See, you know what bothers me about you, Dan? When you can walk in here. No, I think you're a guy that you see, see, I keep the stubble beard. When someone has a gross neck beard for an event, like a wedding, kids communion, you know, you go out for a nice. Like I can get. Yeah, I agree with that. You gotta line your beard up every other day if you have a beard like Kavino. So like me, you guys have been describing me the last 10 minutes, but I was seeing bad suit, bad neck beard, you know what? Maybe this is maybe. Did he see that I labeled this I was Sam intervention on my face at Bursh's wedding. I looked like the biggest schlub, and I thought I looked good. And I look at pictures, and I'm like, God, I look awful. Do you have a picture of you at Bersch's wedding? Yes, I do. Can you text it to me? I want to see if it's worthy putting on our Instagram. Kavina. No. Are you back, buddy, or what? Yeah, I'm back. I agree with you with the oversized suits thing. It's like you're wearing your dad's suit to the interview. It's such a weird look. Yeah, not. Not a good one at all. But the neck beard that. Let's. Let's say hi to Hollis in Tennessee. Hollis, you're on with Kavino and Rich. What's up, buddy? What's going on? What's up, man? Man, I'm. I'm sitting here and I hear calling, talking about, you know, Sean Payton and Bo Nicks, like, they're the best things to slice bread. I mean, we talked about that yesterday, so you must be calling from a time machine. But yes, we did talk about Bo Nicks yesterday. Yeah. Yeah, they did. I know. I'm catching up. You know what I'm saying? I've been doing a couple of things, but. Trash. Come on now. Trash. All right, well, let's insert that on yesterday's pod. All right, let's say hi to Josh and Pa. What's up, Josh? Hey, Josh. Hey, boys. I got. I got three for you. That. That kind of annoy me. The backwards hat is fine. What annoys me is when someone has a hat that's, like, way too big for their head. Like, three sizes too big for their head. You know, those are called noggin, boss. No, no, not that. When girls wear these baggy jeans from, like, the 1990s. Mm. And I'm gonna go with Crocs. Worst worst fashion ever. Josh, those are not bad ones. I. You know what? I will say I am sort of used to a hot girl wearing those baggy, what they call them, like, mom jeans. At first I'm like, what's it? The baggy high waist? Like, I felt it so unflattering, but, you know, you get used to it, and you're like, yeah, it's the style. What do you. Do you want your wife or girlfriend to be out of style? But I could see guys saying they're not very form fitting, not stylish. Turns go. All right, well, hey, let's. Let's get your feedback. You know, a pet peeve of mine is when guys go out to the east coast and do a show, and their connections crap out on them. You know, that is. No, it totally gets under my skin, I'll tell you. It just is. You know, we can be so sitting here listening to Big Mike do his words of wisdom, you know, instead. And instead, we're hearing underwater, you know, hosts at the bad dried fruit machine. I'll take pickles on the fries. And can I just say something? This suit. This suit thing, because we had another caller. Like, I get a crocs are. You know. You know, I get that. Heck, we had our bet about crocs. Rich can rock crocs, which I think all of us are jealous that he can actually. Can actually pull it off. There is the difference of understanding the moment and then, like. Like, the trying too hard, right? Like, there's. There's. I think that there's a balance with. With some of that. And so, like, if you're wearing, like, the big hat, like the guy said, like, totally get that. Just wear a hat that fits. I would say I'm. You too hard on yourself. I think you look really good. Wait, you saw those already? I think you are wearing a. Like, a nice fitted shirt. Your pants are like a straight leg cut. You look good. How are you? That just went through. How'd that get there? How'd that get to you already? Technology. Sam, you're in the next room. I take my clothes to dry cleaner. I don't even try to iron, so, you know, at least something's matching there. But I just. I look back at this, and, like, my pants are all wrinkly, and I, like, had them dry cleaned. I look like a schlop. Do you have a picture that's not with Monsi? I mean, these are like. I mean, it's just. It's me and Monty, and it's me pershing Monty, and it's me dancing like Donald Trump. I love this. That's amazing. So you think I look. I passed the test? I think you passed the test. You're also a skinnier guy, so you're always gonna look better in a suit. You know, I have a little. I have a gut, so it's a little hard to pull off. All right, well, hey, your thoughts at coving on Rich? I think Sam looks good. I actually. I do agree with Rich. Champagne tie and pants. Kind of. That looks good. Works. It works. Yeah. Thank you, guys. Boosted My morale. We do this every Wednesday. We're going to get to spots midweek major, so don't you worry. But before we get to midweek major, we're going to give away a prize. There's a guy that runs this place. His name is Big Mike. Big Mike. Mike comes in here every day when we first started. The reason we say he runs this place is because he walks around like a man in charge and he has words. He's a stylish guy, too. I mean, that's debatable. Mike's a great guy and he drops words of wisdom. And if you could repeat this verbatim, you will win a Kavino Rich prize from Fox Sports Radio. Let's do this. Mike's words of wisdom. Them. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you're stupid and you make bad decisions. Oh, that's some deep stuff right there. He was sort of harsh, too. I saw something similar online where it was like, I'm not mean. You're just dumb. So along those lines is right. So repeat Mike's words of wisdom and you win a prize from Covino and Rich and Fox Sports radio, the number 87799 on Fox. Now, Kavino, if you need a little pick me up today, I'm sorry to tell you, George Kittle and the NFL and everyone will tell you, no more smelling salt. So there's going to be a. I wonder if this is going to affect the NFL. I wanted to bring this up because when you heard George Kittle talking about this, I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not. You know, Kittle's probably one of the funnier dudes in the NFL. I didn't know that. There was a very serious nature to his response. Here, take a listen. I honestly just came up here to air a grievance. Oh. Our team had a memo today that smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal in the NFL. Wow. And I've been distraught all day. Illegal. Yeah. He even said he's not practicing anymore. I considered retirement. Yeah. For George Kittle. We got to figure out middle ground here. Guys, Guys. Somebody help me out. Somebody come up with a good idea. Airing of grievances. Yeah. That's all I had to get out there. I'll get that off. Is it, is it Every before, every, every drive is a is. I'm an every driver in between every play he's pulls out the way too much. Yeah. It feels like the energy's still out here though. I mean. Oh, no, definitely, definitely. But I missed those already. I mean, I, I, at first I'm like, is he joking or not? On every drive guy. Some guys get fired up. Listen, Kittle sounds like, you know what he sounds like? Sounds like a college girl who got their cocaine taken away. It's. They've never tried it. Have you tried it ever? Smelling salts? No. But if you watched receiver George Kittle was part of that series. They don't show it on the show, but you could tell that before the game. Like, Kittle does look like he gets these little quick bumps of getting fired up. I'm. When I say bump, I don't mean cocaine. I'm saying it feels like Kittle is the type of guy that thinks, woo, let's go. It's like that extra boost when you need it. Yeah. And he thrive, thrives off of that. But little kids see these pros, then they want to reenact it. Monkey see, monkey do. And apparently it masks some serious concussion injuries. Do you think that's the reason though? I mean, you've seen people in, in the fight world get, get knocked out and then they wake up with a smelling salt. So you've seen it on TV shows, you've seen it on, you've seen in the sports world. I personally have never tried smelling salts and I've seen a challenge on social media. Have you seen a regular person try smelling salts that have never done it? I have not. But this sounds absurd, but remember the NFL did their helmet thing when they would only allow you to have one helmet because they felt that you, if it would cause more concussions if you changed it. Well, now they're like, okay, well, the data didn't really show that. So everybody can wear different helmets and now they can make money off of it. Like if you, if they could make money off of this, I'm almost thinking like they would have had the official ammonia inhalant of the NFL. Right. You know, like there's a way that you could do it. But I think that's the overall point of it. It's just the image of it. The, the optics is the phrase that I was looking at. They don't want to be. If it does mask concussion symptoms, the whole deal. If it does or it doesn't. One case Said that it did. I think they're afraid of the optics of it. That's what I think. They just have a rule where they do it in a blue tent or they do it. They can't. Out of a Gatorade cup. They might do it in the locker room and nobody would know. I know what you're saying, the optics. Let's say it's like a downtrodden looking George Kittle. Then all of a sudden he comes out and he's like, woo. Yeah, sure, yeah. I saw a woman on a reel and she tried smelling salts and it knocked her on her butt. She was like overwhelmed. It's almost like. You guys remember when Steve O. Snorted wasabi in one of the Jackass movies? Yes. He was like overwhelmed by it. It's not a good idea. Not a good idea. Spot. Who's the dude that does the wing show? Hasting the wing. Sean Evans. Hot ones. Hot ones? Yeah. Sean Evans. Hot ones. Like when you get down to those final couple wings and it's like, you see people genuinely react like, yo, this, this is something, Kavino. Look it up later. If you've seen like young tiktokers trying smelling salts. And it's not simple. It's not like, all right, I got a little pep. It's. I've never done it. Have you? In the football days or no. Of all people, I've seen Mario Lopez do it not too long ago too. And he was like, oh my God. Like they couldn't handle it. So I get it. You're trying to protect the kids. I'm not against it, but I'm surprised they didn't just make a rule where you just couldn't do it on the sidelines. I mean, I get it. They don't want baseball players to have tobacco and stuff because, you know, the kids will see. And then all of a sudden the kids want to be chewing tobacco and it's a bad influence. I guess there's a parallel there maybe where it's like if you see guys like Kittle fired up, fun young players snorting anything or taking a sniff of something, it just again, it optically looks weird. Right. It reminds me of this. These several lines from Airplane. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing blue. Yes. I picked the wrong week to quit smelling smelling salts. Maybe we go back to the old fashioned way of slapping yourself in the face 100 times. That's not a bad idea. You want to get a winner for Mike's words of wisdom? Yeah. Let's try again. All Right. Let's start with Mo in Orlando. Mo in O. Mo, are you ready to play? Yeah. We can give it a go. Give it a go. You gotta wait for the music to simmer here for a sec. You're on, Mo. All right. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is that you're dumb. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, sorry. He was, like, paraphrasing it. Sorry. That's word for word. Yeah. All right, we gotta take the next caller here. Tammy, in Vegas, you get a chance to win. Hi, Tammy. Hello. Hi. Oh, hi. Are you ready to do Mike's words of wisdom? As ready as I'm gonna be. All right, here we go. Let it simmer. All right. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you're stupid and you make bad decisions. Oh, we got a winner. Yeah, no, that's a winner. You know what I say? Of course. Of course. It took a woman to pay attention, to listen, because guys are terrible at listening. Right, Tammy? Right. Imagine that you're on an airplane, and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention, passenger. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying, like, okay, pull this. Until this, pull that, Turn this. It's just. I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of question like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the Runway. I'm looking at this thing. See? Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Get fired up, y'. All. Season 2 of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway.

All right, let's do this. Midweek Major Covino. And Rich gets you over the middle of the week with Midweek Major. Ooh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say, that's so mid. We definitely major C and R scoring. Midweek Major. I gotta go really fast here to give Spot eight full minutes. He doesn't want that time. I don't want it at all. Take it back. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of this segment, usually we roll the two big red love dice, but Covino is live from New Jersey today. So, Kove, I have Ben Maller's magic penny in my hand from Benny versus the penny. What? How does he keep that? All right, and. And Rich, you are the home team because you're still here in the LA studio. So call in the air, Rich, heads or tails? I got a big head. So Head. You do have a big head. It's heads. So that means Rich gets to go first. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Blume from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Spotty Boy. Hi, Spot. Can I request a new intro? All right, we left off at the break, so I'll just dive into into some more details. You mentioned it this weekend, New Jersey native Jen Powell, I think I'm pronouncing that right. Will make history as the first woman to umpire a game in Major League Baseball. She'll umpire the doubleheader between the Braves and the Marlins at Atlanta's truest park. She was born and raised in West Milford, New Jersey. So. Jersey. Oh, got my go. Went on to play softball and soccer at Hofstra University. Been in with was an up at the amateur level for a decade. Appeared in the minors in the Gulf coast league in 2016. Moved up to AAA in 2023 before she was put on the list to move up to the majors. The other four major sports of the other, you know, the three of the four, not hot dog eating, but NBA 28 years ago they had women. NFL 10 years ago. So maybe NHL will be just around the corner midweek or Major. I think this is major. Definitely major. I think this is great. And listen, they're not doing this. This is not a charity case. They're not throwing this woman a bone. She has earned it. She has umpired at every level. My only take that was a little. A little different was I feel like if you're the first guy to really argue with her, you're gonna look like a bully. Because as a gentleman, as a grown man, no one should be yelling at a woman. But then again, it's on the field, so it's in the job description. Right? Job description, I guess. Right. So I'm going to say major. I just think it's going to be funny or awkward at first when someone finally starts yelling at her and she starts yelling back as, hey, you've seen it. Umpires in baseball. You see more baseball ump disagreements in any other sport. I agree. Major history being made. I'm just surprised it's taken this long and it shouldn't be an issue. As they say, the best referees, the best, best umpires are the ones you don't notice. Yeah. I do think that men coaches aren't going to be able to lean into the debates and the arguments as much, but in time we'll get used to it. It's all good. Congrats. Hey, good for her. All right, let's see if for the second week in a row, the awnva game was interrupted by a phallic object. Can I say that? Have there been three? Now I feel like counts at three. I think that's the third one. Thank you. Spot for. Actually used a very good word there. Thank you. Of course you can say that. Right? The first One that made news took place last week. We actually mentioned it last week during midweek, Major, where the Valkyries took on the dream. There was another one over the weekend. And then the most recent incident took place last night at the crypto.com arena where the fever took on the Sparks. Right after Kelsey Plum nailed a free throw. F man threw it on the court and actually hit Sophie Cunningham. Sophie Stunningham. And ironically enough, Sophie posted on her social media that she, because of all the incidents, she's like, oh, I hope I don't get hit in the face. It's gonna turn into a meme. So she ended up being the one that got hit on the court, went over to the the side to kind of laugh it off. But the WNBA did release a statement over the weekend because of the previous incident saying any fan who intentionally throws an object on the court court will immediately be ejected, subject to up to one year ban in addition to being arrested and prosecuted by wherever the incident takes place. Midweek or major. They had to add this is major. They had to have the arrest because being banned from WNBA games for a year. No. Is no great punishment. So yes, you will be arrested. They've arrested one guy from one of the first two incidents so far. He got charged with indecent exposure, criminal trespassing and like, what are you in here for? More murder? No, I threw on the court at a phallic object NBA game. What happened to it? Is it on ebay? Did someone put it in there? Did someone put it in their little bag and take it home like trash? And it's once again it was like a lime or like neon green. So it's been the same. Oh, the Shrek collection. I wonder if what it's all over now. I wonder if it's like the same one being passed around. I don't know. They're like celebrity deaths. They only happen in threes. So this is the end of this, the last one. I think that's we're making a story out of it. It gets more press for the wnba and all you're doing is inviting more people to continue doing this regardless of the consequences. They're going to try to sneak it, make it happen. And I don't know. I think the WNBA without injuring players leans into it a little bit. Make it a tradition like, like throwing hats or fishing hockey or whatever they do. It's kind of insulting though, isn't it? You know, someone could get hurt a little bit insulting or a nice parting gift. Okay. They're may. They're Laughing about it. The players, of course, not being thrown at them. Right. Some are like, you know, some are very kind of random. Some have no use for it. Okay, can I move on? Yes, please. We talked a few times here on the show and during midweek. Major, actually, how Tom Brady has regretted doing his Netflix roast, the greatest roast of all time, mainly because of the impact on his family and his kids. Well, roastmaster Jeffrey Ross, comedian Jeffrey Ross has actually commented and fired back on Brady's reaction, saying, I didn't realize you could lose half your sense of humor in a divorce. So in a recent interview with Page Six, he commented just on Brady's reaction. He said, though, he went on to say, I want everyone to love the roast. To leave there feeling like it was the greatest night of their lives. And he said above that. Beyond that, the guy deserves a Nobel peace prize for taking the hits for three hours so the rest of us could forget our problems. Brady has, of course, expressed this regret on multiple occasions. So I don't know if this lessens that a bit. Midweek or. Major, I think it's mid. I'll tell you what, Jeffrey, that's so mid this, you know, really funny buffoon. Because that's what he is, right? I mean, he's great at the roasting. No, he's. He's a roast master. He's a roast master. But Kove, I look at it this way. He's in that world. I'll give you the analogy. When you date someone that's on the radio or tv, you almost, like, sometimes you'll be the content of discussion, and you have to deal with it. Jeffrey, Jerry Ross, his whole life revolves around offensive roasting jokes. He can't. He can't say, oh, man, Tom Brady can't take it. Tom Brady put himself out there more than anyone ever thought he would have. So I think there should be no criticism of Tommy. In fact, the fact that he sort of, like, didn't think about his family ahead of time makes you realize that Tom was really in it for the fun. So I'm team Brady on this one. I don't know if Jeffrey Ross has anything to say about Tom. I. I wish Jeffrey Ross good health. I know he was battling some health issues. He's the best at the game. But props to Tommy for putting himself out there like that. I think it's great. So I agree with Rich. Everything Rich said. Yeah, cool. Rich, if you're contemplating your hairline receding, I mean, this is a great hairline. You can see it on the fox Sports Radio YouTube page. Maybe you can seek inspiration. Hairline fresh right from John Cena. So the wrestler turned actor, personality, whatever. Went into more detail about the hair transplant he had back in April. He said he decided to have the scalp surgery after fans were taunting him about his receding hairline and said he couldn't be happier with the new look. Said it completely changed, quote, changed the course of his life and said if there wasn't so much shame around that, he would have gotten it 10 years earlier. He says it's also led to more acting gigs and apparently his daily upkeep routine. Rich, take notes. Includes red light therapy, minoxidil vitamins and special shampoo and conditioner. And he said he's not alone too, because there's about 7 to 8 out of 10 men that suffer from thinning or baldness, including Rich midweek or major. Look at this head of hair. If anyone's balding in the room, it's you, buddy boy. What are you talking about, Rich? You don't have a receding hairline or thinning hair. Thank you. I was saying, but you know what? Many, many of you guys do for being a 70 year old man. Many, many of you guys do and there's no shame in that. I think John Cena, this is great because if I were, I think I would go to Turkey to get this done. And John Cena, I did think it looked a little peculiar. No shame involved guys. But when he was in the wrestling ring and he did have a big bald spot, I mean, couldn't see his hair. It was very evident. It was very evident. So I think it's a great, great thing. You know, even John Cena could get bullied. Look at that. Hey, look how many. I agree with Rich, I agree with John Cena. How many men out there struggle with this issue? It's drastic, it's traumatic. Women take and improving their look. Shane. And if you. Yeah, I mean, I know Kavito, I know you're saying Kavino saying a lot of women, they talk about all these things, whether it be Botox, filler surgeries, breast, you know, booty lifts, all this stuff is very open and talked about. When it comes to men, there should be no shame. Do it. Have fun with it. All right, so Shaq is putting his faith in his team and America's team, the Dallas Cowboys, for week one of the NFL. He revealed on his podcast, the big podcast with Shaq, that the Cowboys will beat the Eagles in Week 1 of the NFL. And he's so confident that he's putting his, I guess his outfit where his mouth is. That if he loses, he'll get the. The dress that Charles Barkley wore in his iconic Weight Watchers commercial and wear outside his big Chick restaurant right on the Vegas strip. He made a similar bet last year on the Rich Eisen show saying that he would wear a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit if they didn't win against the Eagles last season. And Dallas went on to lose to the Eagles 33, 27. Never made good on that bet. So we'll see if he makes good on this bet. However, the Eagles are a seven point favorite heading into week one of the NFL against the Cowboys. So midweek or major? I think Eagles. Either way it's a good thing because Shaq's gonna get promo for his restaurant or whatever he's doing. He's a good sport. People love Shaq. Cowboys aren't gonna beat the Eagles week one. But I do love Shaq's enthusiasm and I love your midweek manager. Thank you, Spotty boy. Get this. I'm taking my mother to Las Vegas for the first time. That's very cool. She's never been and she's gonna be 70 and she's visiting me here in Los Angeles. So I said, mom, happy birthday. I'm changing your flight. She goes, where am I going, Richie? And I go, I'm gonna fly you straight to Vegas. Istanbul. I'm gonna meet you there. And she wants to see the Bellagio fountains and I'm taking her to see Penn and Teller. So it's a mother son weekend. And then she'll come see my kids out here. You're taking an old cheetah to Cheetahs. Imagine that. Imagine my mom's like, richie, I really would like to go to I heard a thunder down under. Send my mom there. Listen, while I'm in Vegas, I was looking Danny G. That I know there's a Rashee Rice story we're going to get to, but I was looking at the Vegas odds for mvp. Is there like a long shot where you where you could think of a quarterback or a team where, wow, it's not crazy to think blank could shock the world. Like, what's the long shot? Is it Aaron Rodgers at +8000 if the Steelers. Because remember, NFL on Fox said the Steelers would be the 6th or 5th best team. Is it Aaron Rodgers? Like, what's the pick? Where is Jaden Daniels line at? Because, you know, obviously he was a rookie last season, but he played at an MVP type level. And I could See him avoiding the sophomore jinx because I think he's the real deal. He's about the fifth best, like the fifth highest odds at plus 750. Vegas has it as Lamar Jackson. I mean the ones we talk about, Lamar, Josh Burrow and Mahomes and then right after them, Jaden Daniels is number five. And then Jalen hurts Herbert. I'm just saying it's ridiculous, but I don't know if it's preposterous to say, yeah, a hundred bucks on Aaron Rodgers. Hundred wins. Eight thousand. What if Aaron Rodgers returns to form? What if Aaron Rodgers. I mean it's. Right now, it's not looking like that's. I know. I'm just saying like of the, of the long shot standing because in that same category is he's in the same odds as like Drake May, Trevor Lawrence and Michael Penix Jr. I feel like you've been counting on Aaron Rodgers to have a miraculous season for three straight years right now. I don't know why. And I'm not a big Aaron Rodgers fan. There's just a part of me that feels like maybe I root for the 40 year old guy. You know, we all hit 40 and you start rooting for other guys your age, like man. Because if he does well, it's a feeling that like, you know, we're not that old. Yeah, that's a good transition because we have a story about a type of food you can't eat when you get into your 40s or you shouldn't. If you could eat what you wanted all the time, what's the food? If you could eat what you wanted all the time with no caloric ramifications. If calories, fat, grossness didn't matter, I would choose Taco Bell every day. I would have gordita. I would have gordita crunches. Yes. And you know, steak burritos and you know, chicken fajitas. I would have every cheesy gordita crunch. The cheesy gordita crunch is the best steak quesadilla. What else do I like there? The chicken chalupa with the spicy ranch. They have the, the grilled burrito like the, the steak grilled burrito. So good. But Rashi rice grilled cheese burrito, I should say. Very good. Now you get me hungry. Oh yeah. Chado Chocinco said Rasheed Rice, he's good for 1500 yards this year and 10 tuddies because he posted that Rasheed Rice has been having McDonald's. It's his training camp diet. Large fry and Cheeseburgers every day. And you hear guys like Michael Phelps, Floyd Mayweather Jr. When you're conditioned and you are honestly doing some type of physical activity every waking hour, training for a fight, training for the Olympics, these guys take in so many calories. I just feel like, if you had the option, what would you choose? That's what I'm thinking. Danny, what would be your fast food to go to if. If it. If nothing mattered? Nothing mattered. Do you have a. Do you have a go to? Like, if. If. If you could eat whatever you wanted, no repercussions, would you have In n out every day? Would you have Chick Fil A every day? Probably. Pizza? Yeah. That's a good one. That's a good answer. And when you go chicken pizza, and when you mean pizza, like the whole pizza, like the whole pizza, not like two slices, like extra cheese, like slob, like spot. Your stomach would be the. The pizza table. Yeah. It'd be the Joey Chestnut of pizza. Yeah. Greasy. It's the best part. Let me see that. All right, well, pizza, eat like a slob. Football season's coming up, so you can hide it under your. Under your hoodie. Oh, yeah. And catch up on Hard Knocks. You didn't see it last night. I'm gonna download that for the flight. Buffalo Bills. We'll see you guys in for Dan Patrick next week. Enjoy. Until next time. Arrivederci, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye.
